    I guess resetting the password will be difficult after forgetting the password. Also it seems most features are only available with the Play Store.

    Custom ROMS without a Play Store will have a hard time.

      None of these feel like essential feature for me, I’ll be still more happy using a custom ROM.

    This is pretty cool! Wondering about a couple of these features though: locking setup after a forced reset and locking stolen devices which are offline for extended periods. Do these features activate when I determine the phone is stolen? Or do they happen automatically? This might make used phone sales a major PITA if the seller doesn’t properly reset it first.

    All good. Hopefully this is not a step towards locking the bootloader preventing custom OS installs on Pixel devices.
